Barony of Mill Creek, Keoland

Governed by Baron Vorgax, Warden of Black Pike

The Barony of Mill Creek lies nestled on Keoland's northeastern border. It is part of the shared border with Gran March and the Ducy of Ulek. Within Keoland, it is bordered by the Duchy of Dorlin, the County of Marlbridge, and the Barony of Axewood. Considered a backwater by much of the kingdom, it boasts only one sizable town, Black Pike. Black Pike sits on the shore of the Sheldomar River, making it the starting point for many merchants returning through the Duchy of Ulek. Castle Vorgax is a half day's ride from Black Pike and is where Baron Vorgax resides.

Other than the Royal District and City of Niole Dra, Mill Creek is the smallest province within the kingdom. Despite being the gateway to a fair bit of trade, the Barony suffers from an economic standpoint. The roads and villages are of lesser quality than one might find throughtout the rest of the Kingdom. The exact reason for this is unknown, although it is said that Baron Vorgax prefers a more "rustic" feel.

T

he baron himself is a widower. His wife drowned in a boating accident on the Sheldomar. He has a young son named Dublevex. Mill Creek is almost entirely covered in light deciduous forests with small breaks in farmland, and boasts some of the best game in the Kingdom. Nobles frequently call upon Baron Vorgax when they feel a need for a diversion. The baron eschews life in Niole Dra and the life of the council. He trust in his minister Erelan Marsham to see to the affairs of the barony in Niole Dra
